susan rice is a bit player here. was he informed of the june attack on our consulate where they blew a hole -- where 40 people could go through? was he aware of the august 15 cable where stevens was saying we can't withstand a coordinated al qaeda attack? there are 10 militia groups all over benghazi. i blame the president for making this a death trap. i blame the president for not having assets available to help these people for eight hours. we need a select committee not only to look at intelligence failure, but how could the department of defense not help these people for over eight hours? and why did the department of state for months ignore pleas for help? we need to get this under one roof. >> can susan rice be confirmed of secretary of state if nominated by the approximate president? >> i don't know. i'm deferential to the president's picks. i voted for kagan and sotomayor. he had a very high bar for confirmation. i have a very low bar. i'm going to listen to what susan rice has to say, put her entire record i

i'm just wondering the logic behind why public official susan rice, general petraeus and the president would lie knowing full well that the truth would ultimately come out and the alternate explanation is they were given wrong intelligence and they would have been more suspicious of that intelligence and perhaps they spun the intelligence they were given, but couldn't it just be a matter of wrong intelligence as we've seen before? >> i think it is less likely that there is incompetence at the cia and incompetence at the national security council that they -- that they ended up giving the president of the united states false information. i think there is less likelihood of that than if the president was in battle mode and in the middle of a campaign and felt that any type of things that made it look like the islamic threat, the radical -- the radical islamic threat is still upon us would be harmful to him politically. so i can't say that was his motive. i don't know what was going on in his head, but it's not likely that the national security council and the cia didn't do their job, thu

ambassador susan rice would not have been one of them. she is from the perspective of main stream american foreign policy one of the least controversial figures in this administration. rice was a scholar at 28 years old. she joined bill clinton's security council and became the youngest ever assistant secretary of state. and in january of 2009, she was unanimously confirmed by the senate as a united states ambassador to the united nations. during her almost four years on the job, she's earned bipartisan praise for pursuing u.s. interests. "new york times" reports that white house aides say she's favored by president obama to replace hillary clinton as secretary of state. but rice's record doing her job doesn't seem to matter much to senator john mccain. what matters is that rice went on television in the days after the attack in libya that killed the ambassador and three other americans and repeated the information the cia provided at the time. >> susan rice should have known better, and if she didn't know better, she's not qualified. she
